Black Bear Northern BC

[Alan Milnes]

More from the Northern BC/Yukon trip this past spring and summer. Black Bears were very prevalent nearly everywhere we traveled. NOT carrying bear spray was not an option!

Looks to be enjoying a nice dandelion salad for lunch. Good shot of this critter.

I am with Alan, I am glad it's enjoying a salad instead for some fresh meat....

You really scored with the bears.

That is a nice close portrait. How close were you to the bear?

Hi Jameel, Thanks for your interest. I was using a 100-400mm lens and was in a campervan at roadside. I estimate I was roughly 10 metres away with the engine off.

very nice shot, that looks too close for comfort for me.
